I doubt very much that I could get them on line - there are restrictions as to what you can import. I ordered some hampers from Lakeland with jars of pickles and cheese in them - couldn't get them delivered. Best bet is to try and get one next time we are in England and hide it in the boot. I will keep your good advice for planting though.

Well done everyone and many thanks for all your comments. Congrats Jackie, how did you do on the lottery?! As regards apple trees, choir2, have you considered buying on-line? You can get some great bargains on whips (grafted single stems to roots, no branches), delivered to your door. You need to cut off the top third to make them branch and they start to mature in about 4 years. Pull off any flower buds for the first two years to prevent fruiting and to establish good root growth.
